Default resonator suggestions

My exhaust is just too much I cant take it anymore. People tell me I shouldnt change it and it sounds sweet but Im loosing hearing. I was thinking of putting a resonator on hoping it would cut out alot of the drone, plus I dont want to rebend piping for a big muffler. Anyone have suggestions and a place to get one.

I would just get the largest Magnaflow muffler possible that will fit, and weld it between the flange on your y-pipe and your present muffler. Magnaflows are straight-through, so you won't lose performance, and that should cut down on the noise.

Not sure you understand what I'm saying. I'm suggesting that you weld in a Magnaflow muffler as a resonator....like a 3" in/3" out, 5 x 8 oval....before your muffler.

You are going to have to do something with the piping no matter what if you want a resonator. Most resonoators are nothing more than small mufflers used to take out more noise.

I originally had a Flowmaster American thunder catback kit. It came with a resonator just after the y pipe. There is no drone at all with mine. But it does quiet it down a lot to. Wish it was louder.

Check out one of these, it may work for you.

They seem to be cheaper than some performance type brands and I think they are true stainless. I know they are for diesel applications but it might work to get a little more bearable sound from your set up.
